Wednesday April 22 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX defends critical supports but posts decent loss before bouncing back after hours. Where must $SPY recover tomorrow?

In partnership with

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7057, 7090, 7102, and 7123. As long as we remain above this support zone and continue to defend it, we want to stay biased to the upside and look for long entries in anticipation of a continuation higher…A clean hold overnight back above 7107 would also lean bullish.

On the upside, breaking and holding through 7123 would open an initial run to 7134. Clearing 7134 puts 7149…in focus.

This is what happened. The market initially dipped but defended the 7107 ‘bullish hold’ support level shortly after yesterday’s close, which set the stage for a steady climb toward our resistance target of 7149. Then in the regular session we retested most of these supports and dipped and defended the key 7057 level but managed to maintain above into the close. $SPY ( ▼ 0.66% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.63% )  $ES_F ( ▼ 0.67% )  

See how well the levels work?

The Biggest Names in Food Are Testing This New Tech

What do the world’s three biggest foodservice providers, the biggest food manufacturer, and some of the industry’s most beloved brands have in common?

They’re all partnering with Automated Retail Technologies (ART) to serve food without kitchens or delivery.

With ART’s Just Baked™ automated robotic kiosks, serving peoples’ favorite meals 24/7 is affordable and easy. That’s why the foodservice giants Aramark, Sodexo, Sysco, and Compass Group joined Nestlé and White Castle as ART partners.

And ART’s 800 units deployed currently only scratches the surface of their growth plans. They have 400 more units ready for immediate deployment, 340,000+ additional targeted locations, and a leadership team that knows exactly what it takes to scale. In other words, ART is perfectly positioned.

Now, looking ahead, we must keep an eye on how these levels hold. Where must we defend tomorrow if we dip further and what resistances must reclaim for further upside potential?

More in the trade plan below.

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how we played them today and what they mean for the next session.

The defense at 7107 SPX ‘bullish hold’ support overnight and subsequent run of 40 points or the dip & defense at 7057 in the regular session are both prime examples of the support levels at work. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in after hours right on the key 7090 support level. What does this mean and where do we go from here? Read below for our trade plan which includes actionable support & resistance levels, outlook for the next session and today’s trade recap.

Trading Plan

Today’s .6% move lower on elevated volume, indicates some profit-taking or caution among traders, but the ongoing defense of our support levels puts us within the consolidation range.

For tomorrow, we have a quieter day in terms of economic reports, with only crude oil numbers set to be released in the morning. However, it’s crucial to stay alert to any news from Iran or updates from the White House, as these could impact market sentiment significantly.

We are receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping us develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but we’ve created a separate channel in the discord just so you don’t have to be shy about bringing those questions to the group. No question is dumb, we grow stronger together!

In fact, we’ve created this single resource as a guide. It is a living document and we will continue updating it. You must be logged into the site to read it:

As readers know trading after a massive move in either direction is risky.

Trying to predict when trend will break is a fool’s game because the trend can be stronger than you ever realize.

Going with the trend is hard because it has already run so far (or dropped) and move may be close to over.

All you can do is pick your entries carefully and with proper position sizing. Trading out 1-3 DTE or further also helps soften the blow.

Yes it will decrease the amount of profit but will greatly help keep you in a trade long enough to see return.

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
